The Novelletten, Op. 21, is a set of 8 pieces for solo piano, written by Robert Schumann in 1838.[1] BackgroundThe Novelletten were composed during February 1838, a period of great struggle for the composer.[2] Schumann originally intended the eight pieces to be performed together as a group, though they are often performed separately with great success. This set of pieces is an excellent example of Schumann's keyboard style.[1] AnalysisNo. 1 in F majorThis piece contains 7 sections, alternating between a staccato march and flowing legato passages. The piece is a modified Rondo form. No. 2 in D majorThis virtuosic piece is graceful and effective. An Intermezzo section in the middle contrasts and varies the piece. No. 3 in D majorThis piece displays the composer's sense of humour through the use of rapid staccato chords. An Intermezzo section in the middle of the piece is used to contrast. No. 4 in D majorThis piece is quite loosely organized in terms of structure; it is an interesting waltz that uses cross-rhythms and syncopation effectively. No. 5 in D majorThis piece is in the form of a polonaise; its principal section contains three main ideas which are then overcome by the persistent rhythms of the Trio section. No. 6 in A majorThis piece uses an increasing tempo to characterize the progression of sections. Starting from the staccato opening, each of the following passages are marked a few metronome beats faster until the coda, which returns to the original tempo. No. 7 in E majorThis piece features a beautiful and lyrical middle section; it also features many virtuosic passages containing fast, brilliant octaves. No. 8 in F sharp minorThe concluding piece of the set, is actually two pieces in one. The first part is a passionate etude in 2/4, the second has the nature of a march.[1] References1. ^1 2 [{{Allmusic|class=work|id=c182112|pure_url=yes}} Novelletten Op. 21 at Allmusic] 2. ^Novelletten Op. 21 at Michigan State University Press External links
